Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
Hi There! Today’s card features a fun fold using the stamp set Apple of My Eye. If you missed this set in the catalog, it’s towards the end of the Occasions catalog on page 47. I love the vibrant colors on this card. I added Crystal Effects to the cherries and apple images to give it a shiny look. I cased this fun fold from Patty Bennett …
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great day yesterday. I had a wonderful Easter Sunday going to church and then celebrating with family. Isn’t it great to gather with family and create special memories? Love them! For this card, I combined a couple of stamps together – Time to Celebrate (an Occasions Catalog hostess set), Perfect Pennants (for the sentiment) and Gorgeous Grunge (for the …
For this card, I used the Butterfly Basics stamp set and cut the cardstock with the image at an angle. I colored the flowers with the Calypso and Old Olive Blendabilities. I added Crystal Effects to the flowers for the waxed look and adhered some pearls. For the card below, I made some minor changes. I added glitter instead of the Crystal Effects and a …
Today’s birthday card uses the Dotty Angles stamp. Doesn’t it make a great celebration card? I also used it on the ice cream portion – looks like chocolate chips, doesn’t it? The cone was embossed with the new Tiny Triangles Embossing Folder. Any kid would love receiving this card – my niece absolutely LOVED her ice cream cone card! Don’t forget to take advantage …
The minute I saw the Bloom With Hope hostess stamp, I fell in love with it and knew I had to get it! This was the stamp that I preordered before the catalog went live – a perk that as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator I get (and you can, too – find out here!) I love the 5 sentiments that go with it and the …

I used the faux layer and masking technique. I also embossed the Off the Grid stamp on the Crumb Cake card stock layer with …
I thought I would take a break from Christmas and make a birthday card for a special friend whose friendship I cherish. I started out with the Friendly Words Wheel and then used the Fabulous Florets which I recently purchased during Stampin’ Up!’s stamp sale (love sales!). I cut out the flowers and used Crystal Effects (love the shine!) and popped them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I …
When I saw the Two by Two stamp in the 2012-13 Annual Catalog I knew I had to get it… it’s so cute – I love it!! It’s a wonderful set to use for a baby card and that’s exactly what I used it for this past weekend. Click here to see another baby card I made using the Little Additions Stamp set which …
Hello Friends! Here’s a card I forgot to post last month that we did at my technique club. I taught them how to do the Retiform Technique using You Are Loved and Cherish Friendship stamp sets – 2 stamps that are retiring at the end of May. It’s a fun technique and you can make the panels in a different way. What you want to remember is that you need …
I love snowmen and I have several of them adorning my home at Christmas time. When I saw this stamp set I knew I had to get it to add to my snowmen collection. Everyone needs tags for their holiday gifts so here’s a fun tag using the Snow Much Fun Stamp Set and Two Tags Die. This tag opens up so you can put a short sentiment. …
